Sobreviventes: diversificação de Archosauromorpha após a Extinção Permo-Triássica [PDF]
, 2020 : The Archosauromorpha is defined as the clade that comprises all diapsids more closely related to the lineage of birds (Ornithodira or Avemetatarsalia) and crocodylians (Pseudosuchia or Crurotarsi) than to Lepidosauria. In addition to their ‘basal’ taxa

Rapid Initial Morphospace Expansion and Delayed Morphological Disparity Peak in the First 100 Million Years of the Archosauromorph Evolutionary Radiation [PDF]
, 2021 Adaptive radiations have played a major role in generating modern and deep-time biodiversity. The Triassic radiation of the Archosauromorpha was one of the most spectacular vertebrate radiations, giving rise to many highly ecomorphologically varied ...

Unique internal anatomy of vertebrae as a key factor for neck elongation in Triassic archosauromorphs [PDF]
The Triassic was a key period in the evolution of vertebrates, and reptiles in particular, giving rise to a plethora of successful lineages, some of which are still extant. One of the groups that flourished during the early Mesozoic were the tanysaurians

Heads or tails first? Evolution of fetal orientation in ichthyosaurs, with a scrutiny of the prevailing hypothesis [PDF]
, 2023 According to a longstanding paradigm, aquatic amniotes, including the Mesozoic marine reptile group Ichthyopterygia, give birth tail-first because head-first birth leads to increased asphyxiation risk of the fetus in the aquatic environment.

Ontogenetic variation in the cranium of Mixosaurus cornalianus, with implications for the evolution of ichthyosaurian cranial development [PDF]
, 2023 Relatively complete ontogenetic series are comparatively rare in the vertebrate fossil record. This can create biases in our understanding of morphology and evolution, since immaturity can represent a source of unrecognized intraspecific variation in ...
